Description:
Since no author's name is given in this ms., it is difficult to establish whether this play is by Onofrio Gilberto di Solofra (printed in Naples, 1653) which as Belloni states in his Il Seicento (p. 290) has thus far been unprocurable; or whether it is by Andrea Perrucci, a poet from Palermo, and a translator of Spanish comedies, who published a Convitato di Pietra in 1678, reprinted 1684, and perhaps later. The first Italian imitator of Tirso's Burlador is supposed to be Giacinto Andrea Cicognini (1606-1660); his Convitato di Pietra like our ms. also contains some Uscene buffonesche, but the comic characters have different names. At any rate, this ms. is important in regard to the literary vicissitudes of the Don Juan legend in Italy.

Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library > Italian castle archive (GEN MSS 110) > MISCELLANY > In Convitato di Pietra. A comedy play. Ms. 91 pages. An Italian version of the Don Juan legend, undated. Imitation of Tirso de Molina's famous Burlador de Sevilla, but with the insertion of comic scenes acted by characters from the commedia dell'arte like Pulcinella (speaking in Neapolitan dialect), Mezzettino (speaking in Venetian), Rosetta, Pimpinella; these scenes differentiate this play from the Spanish original.
